The purge // ROWLANDS

6:59pm*

Alex's pov*
I could hear Laurens steady breathing as she ran. We were both quite fit. I was proud of her. She just kept going and managed to keep up with me.
We reached our apartment block and went into the building. There were some figures looming in the corridors with mask on that had a creepily wide smile painted onto it. We needed to get to our room.
Lauren ran over to the lift, pressing the button but not waiting for it to arrive while quickly bending over and tying her long hair up into a high pony tail. She was very attractive, I must admit but she wasn't gunna get a boyfriend in the purge. No one is unless there crazy and trust every boy they see or they come across a boy who is willing to help them. Eh, that could happen to us but I remember before my mum and dad left us to go and help the people in the purge, they told us 'do not trust anyone in the purge' and I'm sticking by it.
We had no time left.
"Lauren, stairs" I almost shouted, pointing to the left of the elevator and sure enough, she got my signal as we both started jogging up the stairs while trying to regain some of our breath back.
We were about 1 set of stairs away from our apartment when I heard that deafening tone come from someone's television or radio.
"Fuck" we both said in unison.
"Run"
We were at it again, running till we felt like we could collapse but we couldn't stop. Stopping was not an option.
7:01
We had made it to our floor. As we came out of the elevator we heard voices. They sounded quite familiar, like these two boys that me and Laureb knew when we were younger and living with our parents but there voices had weren't quite the same.
"Lauren," I said, just about audible for her to hear because I don't know who will be waiting for us in that corridor leading to our room.
"Get behind me and don't say a word unless I ask you a question." I wasn't going to wait for a reply.
I looked around the corner and found my eyes checking someone around my age out. I shouldn't be doing this in the purge but damnnnn he had a nice body. He was with a slightly younger looking boy who had brown hairy that was a darker shade to the other boys hair but I couldn't see either of there eyes. They were discussing something with each other, why were they outside there room tho? They didn't seem like the people who would murder you on first look. They didn't even look like they had any weapons on them, unlike us, but like our parents said ; you can't trust anyone in the purge.
